Winter Wonderland!

Why do we hear the "winter" songs only at Christmas time? They're seasonal songs, but they are not Christmas songs. Yet, once Christmas is past, you don't hear these songs played on the radio again until the next Christmas.

Today snow is falling and it's simply beautiful! The pictures don't do it justice. The falling snow doesn't show up well in the photo, but even so, it's pretty. It's still snowing, and now the wind is picking up, shaking the snow out of the trees. It's starting to look more cold than romantic!




Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
In the lane, snow is glistening.
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Gone away is the bluebird.
Here to stay is the new bird.
He sings a love song, as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman.
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown.
He'll say, "Are you married?" We'll say, "No, man!"
"But you can do the job when you're in town."

Later on, we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid the plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland.

When it snows, ain't it thrilling?
Though your nose gets a chilling.
We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way
Walking in a winter wonderland!
---Felix Bernard and Richard Smith


Yep...that's definitely a "Winter" song, and should get played at least through February! If I were a radio DJ, you can bet I'd be playing it on days like today.
